I need to pick one more thing from Adairs to qualify for free postage and use a $20 discount code but I'm the wrong gender to care about anything else from there

Maybe add something practical, like a bath mat? I feel like having a spare clean and dry bath mat is always a good idea.

Ask my girlfriend and we already have too much of each. I've had a look at the website hoping to find something 'useful' but nothing stands out. And there's nothing in the kids' section that just bumps it over, which is the area I'm looking to buy from anyway

Soap, hand soap, laundry detergent? Slippers or robe?

Edit: Oh, kids. Well there are towel ponchos and bubble bath or a triceratops chair depending on spend. The quokka toy is out of stock for delivery

Order something for like a $100 and return it for a refund.

Simples

That's actually a good idea. Hit the free postage and the discount then take the thing I don't want back
